Anyway…back to your Q about scholarships.

Unfortunately, transfers rarely ever get enough money in scholarships to pay for college. Transfer awards are typically too small to make much of a dent. Yes, you may find a school that will award $10k or so, but the school will cost $40k or more, and you can’t cover the rest.

The reason that incoming frosh are awarded the big bucks is because a school’s ranking is affected by the quality of the incoming frosh class. So, schools will “buy” the best students.

You complain about SDSU but it has to be better than the CC you’re attending, so look at it that way.

Now, stop arguing and stay in school. Get a job and be away from the house as much as possible. Study at school. College students have lots of reasons to be away from home. Just use the home as a place to sleep.

If you mess this up, you’ll regret it later.
